Are we relativists all religious fanatics?

RE: Are we relativists all religious fanatics?
Plato's allegory of the cave is false. It doesn't represent reality.

The real allegory is that we all the see sun, but that we don't see all that it shines upon and thus manifests.

The idea of justice goodness we all share it as far as the sun analogy goes. It's details and it's applications of the intention, we don't have.

The Sun makes you see, it gives light to things. We all see pure justice. It's in our hearts. Even the darkest heart sees it, and it condemns him.

It's application takes logic and reasoning and understanding.

Two people can have the same intention of justice and the light of justice is seen by both, but they don't have knowledge of the application.

The problem is seeing the objects. The world the sun shines upon is shaped by our knowledge of the world.

The light is not enough. The Sun we all see. The world it shines upon, we aren't all aware of it.
